The grounds embrace over lorty acres and tho main building is only second in size to that of the New Orleans Exposition, covering thirteen acres. The bright sunshine ot the past week is said to have wrought a marvelous change in the wheat prospect in the Shenandoah valley, Virginia. Fields that were to have been turned over for corn are now green . The yield will be at least one-quarter more than was thought two weeks ago. Luminous trees are reported to be growiag iu a valley near Tuscarora, Nevada. At certain seasons the foliage gives out sufficient light to enable any one near at hand to read small print, while the luminoua general effect may be perceived some miles distant. The illumination is attributed to parasites . As a rule, whenever "The Hunch back" is performed, there is a quarrel between the Tepresentsatives. of Jtdia and Helm. From London comes the report that Miss Anderson and Mis liatenian. who are playing the two roles, are no longer friends though they have for years been on the most intimate and kindly terms. Cyrus V.

Piinco Bismarck is reported to have said, on Friday, tbat he was convinced there would be noi war, because Mr. Gladstone's statement, made in the House of Commons late on Thursday night, about the Afghans having thrown out pickets before the Russians advanc ed, clears the way for Ian understand ing between Russia and Eng'and. "Mrs. Celeste Helton, now of Balti more," writes a Newport correspon dent, 'has rented a cottage here for tho coming season.

Death of Dr. S. S. Everett. A dispatch was received here this morning from Aberdeen, Miss., con veying the melancholy intelligence tbat Dr. S. S. Everett, formerly of this city, had died in that town. There were no particulars further than the mere an nouncement of his death. Dr. Everett was, we believe, about 47 years of age. His family are in this city, and the sad news muse be an almost overwhelming shock to them. Happy Hearts. Tbe wedding bells pealed out quite merrily last night for tbe weeding of Miss Mary E. Willis, daughter of Capt. H. B. Willis, and Mr.Chas. D. Jacobs, all of this city. The ceremony was performed at the residence by Rev. Dr Iewis. Rector of St. James' Parish. The house was thronged with relatives "of the youthful couple and other invited guests. The presents were numerous and tastefully displayed. It was not till midnight approached tbat the guests took their farewell of tbe gallant groom and his beautiful bride. Tickets, Gentlemen. Tbe grand drawing of tbe Louisiana State Lottery Company, at New Or leans, on Tuesday, the 14th inst., took place as advertised, and with tbe follow ing result : Ticket No. 59,075 drew the grand prize of 75,000; No. 55,818 drew $25,000; No. 64,580 drew $10,000; Nos 6,570 and 29,671 drew $6,000 each, and Nos. 22.457. 50,519, 57.337, 71,237 and 93,057 drew $2 000 each. We are not informed whether any of the above numbered tickets were held in this vicinity or not, but we imagine when the figures are read to-night that many a ticket will be examined to see if the holders can be reckoned among tbe lucky ones. Some may console them selves with having a ticket coming Very near the lucky number, but to us there wonld be poor consolation in the thought tbat, "Thou art so near and yet. so far!" Important to Navigators. The United States Light House Board, of which Stephen C. Rowan. Vice-Admiral U. S. Navy, is Chair man, have recently issued two circulars or bulletins, which are ot importance to seamen navigating the coast of North Carolina. Th first of these is as fol lows: Notice is hereby that the Roanoke River Light-House, North Carolina, was destroyed by fire on March 21, 1885. and that, until it is rebuilt, its lo cation will be marked by a light shown from a river-lantern, suspended from a mast, 34 teet above the level of tbe sea. By order of the Light-House Board : Stephen C. Rowan. Vice-Admiral U. S. Navy, Chairman. Tbe second relates to the mouth ot the Cbpe Fear, and is as follows: Notice is hereby given that, on or about May 1, 1885. a Bell Buoy will be moored on the outer edge of the bar, entrance to Cape Fear River, North Carolina, in place of tbe second-class can buoy now there. This buoy will rung by tbe mo ion of the sea. By order of the Light-House Board : Stephen C. Rowan, Vice-Admiral U. S Navy. . Chairman. Fair and Festival. The "Peak Sisters of Alaska" will give an entertainment and festival, for the benefit of St. Paul's P. E. Church, at Germania Hall to morrow (Friday) night. Those haviug the ma'ter in charge are perfecting arrangements and making every possible effort to have the entertainment a success, and from our knowlege of some of the managers and promoters ot the enterprise we are sure that nothing will be left undone to make the occasion enjoyable to visitor? aud profitable to tbe church. It was understood at first that tbe festival would be bad in tbe ball over the new market and it was so announced bul the place has been changed as above indicated. If pleasant weather should prevail and we nope it may there will undoubtedly be a full boose. Peo ple wdl have a cariosity to see the Peak Sisters and will go for that par pose, if for no other reason. We have seen one of them and that speci men was tolerably fair, rather fat, bat not yet forty. They mast be seen to be appreciated. Business was very duil in the neigh borhood of the City Hall this morning. Military Convention. There will be a jailttary convention in this city, on the 25th inst . of dele gates from the several commands of the Second Regiment, tor the purpose of considering such measures as shall best conduch to the strength, appearance, drill and efficiency of the command. Another Burglary. A burglar stole a pair of trousers a few nights since from the residence of Mr. E. T. Snden, on Mulberry street, between McKae and Ninth. The cloth ing was hanging up by the side of a window near which Mr. Suden was sleeping, and the thief effected his ob ject by removing a pane of glass and inserting a stick with a hook upon cn; end ot it. Money was evidently all the burglar wanted as the trousers were found the next morning on the piazza, with the pockets turned inside out. Mr. Suden has been made a victim on previous occasions and these midnight visits have become unpleasantly frequent. In Distress. The schooner Regulator, Capt. Lewis, from Elizabeth City, N. C, with corn, bound for Charleston, S. C, put in here to-day in distress, having lost the top of both of her masts, on Friday last in consequence ot tho heavy " sea, which broke them about 10 feet below tbe cross trees. Capl. Lewis reports that he came out of Beaufort, N. Cat 8 o'clock on Friday morning lsst; that there was a stiff breeze blowing at tbe time and a very heavy sea, which caused the schooner to pitch heavily. At about 10 o'clock a. m., and when about 15 miles Southwest of Beaufort, the vessel pitched so heavily that the foremast was snapped off and tbat caused the mainmast to break also. All the spars and rigging were saved ex cept the portions ot tbe masts which were broken oft". Now is the season for painting your houses. Go to Jacobi's Hardware Depot and buy your paints, if you want to save mower. t Twenty-Fourth Anniversary. It is 24 years to-day since tbe first overt act looking towards secession was taken in North Carolina. On April 16tb, 1861, three companies of North Caro lina troops, the Wilmington Light In fantry, Capt. W. L. DeRosset, the Wilmington Rifle Guards, Capt, O, P. Meares, and the Cape Fear Light Ar" tillery, Capt. Jno. J. Hedrick. all under the command ofCol . Jno. L Cantwell, of the 30th Regiment N. C. Militia, embarked for Forts Johnson and Caswell. Major James Reilly, then a Sergeant in the U. S. Army, was in charge and at the demand made upon him he surrendered theforts into the possession of the State troops. Capt. Hedrtck, with his command, was left to garrison Fort Johnson and tho other companies steamed oyer to Fort Cas well and took possession there in the name of the State. A part of the services at the Fifth Street Ml E Church to-night will con sist in a Love Feast. It i? expected that the meetings wiil close to-night, but they may possibly be continued un til Sunday.
